Three of the best medium length wedding hairstyles with veil include the classic chignon, messy bun, and low updos. You can lift the veil up and out by fixing it on the top of the hairstyle. Another option is to fix it below the bun to give it a lengthier illusion.
If you want a perfectly undone but ethereal vibe, opt for tousled curls or different kinds of waves. The half up half down style is another medium hair beauty. The veil and hairstyle should sit on the crown of your head or below. Throw in some beaded hairpins, hair combs, and other suitable accessories to nail this look.

Low bun wedding updo hairstyles with veil are supportive and resilient looks for all seasons and semi-formal nuptials. But you can add some style with side-place tendrils for a feminine and powerful look. If you have volume around your crown, opt for a retro voluminous low bun with the veil attached to the middle of your head.
However, brides that want to channel romance or flirty looks would embrace messy buns, tousled braided buns, romantic curls, and beach waves. With these hairstyles, the veils would stay a bit closer to the nape of the neck and shoulders. There’s also enough hair and a supportive base to hold even the longest veils.

If you’re going for half up wedding hairstyles with veil, then the veil should sit on the underside of the style. The veil and hairstyle may also sit on the crown of your head or just below it. If your veil is a simple fabric, choose the curly half-up style and accessorize with a bejeweled comb right about your veil.
But if you’re going for a bohemian look, throw in some dainty flowers for the free-spirited vibe. Besides, the accents create a balance between a formal and casual look. For the vintage look, twist sections from both sides of your hair and pin it at the back with combs and a veil. It is simple yet sophisticated.

Classic hair down wedding hairstyles or half-down with veil include big waves and tousled curls. They are understated yet refined and suitable for the most decadent and elaborate gowns. The perfect veils for this style are the mantilla, classic tulle veils, and Juliet caps. To secure these veils, fix Bobby’s pins under a section of the hair, and the veil comb teeth.
Merge them to form support that can withstand the day. On the other hand, asymmetrical hairstyles would frame your face and work beautifully with strapless dresses in spring. The best veils are the fingertip and Chapel length styles. But if you want something fashionable, romantic, and versatile, opt for low-swept updos.

Black wedding hairstyles with a veil are a thing of beauty with or without extensions. Take advantage of the natural curls and make a messy bun for your veil. Alternatively, you can go for an understated yet elegant look with a wavy ponytail. If you want to bring a little drama or show off the iconic black hair, opt for twisted braids rolled into an updo.
For naturalists, you can leave your hair as is while enhancing your natural curls. However, a hidden Weave in the middle of your hair would form a stable base for the veil. Other styles include the sleek bun, pompadour twisted updo, and curly waves among others.
PRO Tips
Choosing A Veil Length
When choosing a veil, you need to know which length will look best with your dress. Veils are available in various lengths; these are cathedral length, shoulder length, elbow length and fingertip length. Some bridal veils have a “front veil” as well; it is shoulder-length, no matter which length of veil you choose.
- Cathedral-length veils pair well with long-trained dresses and are more regal than some of the shorter veil lengths
- Shoulder-length veils can be paired with nearly any style of wedding dress.
- Elbow-length veils work well with dresses that have their ornamentation starting at the waist, as well as dresses with no train and where the skirts are not overly luscious. Nearly any dress can be paired with an elbow-length veil.
- Fingertip-length veils fall to the tips of the bride’s fingers and can be paired with any wedding dress except those which are fairly short.
- The front veil is an included part of many veils and is considered very romantic. If you’re pining for a traditional wedding, you’ll probably want to opt for a veil with a front veil, regardless of the veil length.

Wedding hairstyles with crown and veil have their unique and special appeal. Go for a bohemian spin with a side-braided hairstyle that’s tidy and easy to pull off. Whip it up in an updo and place it on a tiara that endows the regal look. A tiara and veil can also Accentuate the half up half down and low bun hairstyles.
For a grand appeal, keep your curls at bay with a slick back tiara. Then put the curls in a messy bun and pin the veil beneath the bun. But if you’re going for dramatic, glam, and charming, think rose curls, loose curls, messy updos, and finger waves.

Wedding hairstyles with veils and hairpins come in many shapes, styles, colors, and sizes. For head clips and barrettes, you can wear flowing or cascading curls. The clips would hold your veil in place while doubling as an accessory. Whereas hair combs and fascinators would match your dress, giving off a vintage vibe.

Wedding hairstyles with veils and flowers are stunning and we’re not ashamed to say it. We love flower-veil combinations for garden, rustic, beach, woodland, and country weddings. They match the Mermaid silhouette, tea-length dresses, slips, strapless, and mono-strap dresses. Match a flower crown of wispy petals, lush foliage, and Scottish ferns in a partial crown.
Pair this crown with a veil on your chosen hairstyle to give an ethereal edge. You can also make floral petals into headbands using textural succulents to give an organic look. There’s also the option of flower combs using multiple flowers to give pops of color. Combs are perfect for partial updos. And if you’re minimalist, a single bloom on your hair would do.
